<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Yes, her Mac's IP is 10.0.0.1 so I'd
have to set up forwarding - I vaguely remember seeing that option in the
Modem settings a month or so back.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">What I'm vague on is how to still find
her Mac. There are a few computers connected to the Modem/Router so how
do I isolate hers?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I've used Timbuktu in the past and it
was pretty reliable (even over dialup) but for the small number of times
I'll use it I'll stay with the free stuff. 8-}</font>

She should tell you what IP address her computer is being given, from <br>
looking in the TCP/IP tab under networking in the System Preferences. <br>
If it's a public IP, that's great. If it's an internet IP address, <br>
she will have to set up port forwarding to send your requests through <br>
the router to her computer. That's the first thing to figure out.<br>
<br>
Also, I have found Remote Desktop to be very nice on the local <br>
network but absolute insanely slow when trying to control a Mac on a <br>
remote computer. I hear that Timbuktu is better, but it's expensive, <br>
and I haven't tried it in years. It does seem to be the last word in <br>
remote control on Macs, though.<br>
